Carl Alexander
Recently popular music has transcended to new
heights and new genres are now taking over globally
why is that? Well, everyone loves the freedom to create
and feel free to express what they truly choose to convey to the world.
What I would like to do is help in that process and at the the same time fully express
myself as well through the production and videography of the music industry. To get
to the full extent of that goal I began doing music 10 years ago and started
incorporating music production and videography elements into my day to day
experience as a freelance for hire.
